I don't know about your math, but your idea is wrong. First of all, it's going to be dangerous to potentially have a launch accident and have it rain down on anyone living under or down wind of the explosion.
More importantly, this is a finite resource, so it would be an incredible waste to jut launch it into space. Who knows what we may be able to use it for in the next 50, 100, 200 years.
The head of theÂMozilla Foundation, Mitchell Baker, is warning that companies need to diversify
And that's where I stop reading. How about we just hire qualified people for a job and leave it at that? While I despise racists, mysoginists, etc. I've gotten to the point that any time I hear "diversity" I tune out because it's going to be bullshit. I also will not work for any company that has anyone with that word in their title. If that position is needed, then there's already something really wrong. Yes, there are some assholes in the world, but why would you want to force them to hire someone they are going to not want. I've had friends who were hired because of this kind of crap. And even though they were qualified, they were miserable. I know that Billy Bob Joe Jim's Klan Sheet company would lynch me on sight if they could, so I sure as hell don't want to work for him because he was forced to hire me. Do you think most white tech geeks would feel comfortable being hired to work in the ghetto because we need more white folks there? We need more fat old white men working as servers at Hooters too. There also aren't enough Asian rappers. And damnit, where are all of the quadraplegic trapeze artists.

The Magnuson-Moss act covers this kind of crap. By law Apple can't require only Apple branded parts or their repair shops be the only option to repair or keep a warranty in force. While Magnuson-Moss does allow for them to make certain terms be part of keeping the warranty, it expressly forbids what TFS states they are doing by requiring all repairs be done only by Apple. Further more Apple also has to prove that the repairs caused an issue in order to be able to void a warranty. Granted, this was passed in 1975 and was intended mainly for cars at the time, but as written any item over a certain dollar amount is covered. Since that dollar amount is anything over $5, I'm pretty sure that it covers anything that Apple makes that has any kind of warranty.
Yeah, that's a neat trick. First rush everything so much that there is no time to collect evidence, and then declare that everything is unsubstantiated. Not dishonest at all, certainly not, how dare you be so impolite to say that.
Yeah, neat trick alrighrt. The man has been investigated multiple times over the years for lower court appointments already. Why did this not come up sooner? The letter that started this shirt storm was also sat on for how many weeks? Perhaps if it had been brough to light when it should have been, instead of when it was politically convenient it would have been investigated more throughly. As it is, there's been no corroboration by any of the alleged witnesses that were mentioned by Dr. Ford. Hell, they don't remember the incident, the party, or anything else that she's stated. It would be nice for someone to come forward to substantiate something, anything about her allegations.
There is plenty of reason to believe that at least some of the accusations can be substantiated: there are sworn statements that could bring the accusers a lot of legal trouble if they would be lying. Due diligence would require that these accusations are at least properly investigated. (Not the sham that the FBI was forced to conduct this week.)
Plenty of reason is not how it works. And even if it was, no there's not. As far as I know, not a single person who has been named as a witness to any of these events has stated any knowledge of anything that even remotely corroborates the events, or even the possibility of them occurring. I truly feel bad for Dr. Ford and wish her all the best. If Kavanaugh did do as she has accused him of, I hope she pursues it and can prove it, as he should be impeached. But as it stands, there's simply not enough evidence to show otherwise.
Garland didn't get seated due to legal procedural BS. While I don't agree with that either, it's a hell of a lot different than not seating a judge based off of unsubstantiated accusations. If don't see the difference I'm sorry I've wasted your time.
I'm sorry Republicans, but I just cannot feel sorry for your boy. Even if he's 100% innocent and this is a "con-job orchestrated by the Clintons". Kavanaugh is the ultimate snow flake.
Independent here. I don't think anyone is asking you to feel sorry for him. Just to let the man do the job he's obviously qualified to do if he's done nothing wrong. Most of our polticians are barely competent as it is. If we're going to start finding public figures guilty in the court of public opinion based on accusations alone, we're going to end up with leaders who spent the first 30 years of their life in a coma. Or have the choice of a blue or red rock on every ballot.
Open hatred of women and democrats is not acceptable in a judge.Â
I agree. But is that what he did? Or was he simply lashing out at those who he believes have wrongfully accused him of something he has started as not true? I don't know if he is guilty of what has been claimed or not, but if he's not then he has been a lot more level headed than most people would be. I don't think it would matter if he was being accused by Buddhists, republicans, or anyone else. Being accused of what is has been, he would have acted the same.
Even so, I fail how to see his behavior as a reason to disqualify him to be a judge. He's too emotionaly involved in these accusations. Who in their right mind wouldn't be. How would you feel in the same position if you were being accused of being a pedophile? Would it make any difference which political party was accusing you? He is certainly never going to be appointed as the judge in a case against himself. So I fail to see how his behavior in this matters in any way.
I love how the summary describes a lab with the doors flying off as a "controlled environment".

I've never understood why birds run into mirrors/reflective objects. Even if they don't understand a reflection, I would think they'd still try to not run into the other bird that is flying at them.
But I thought the law stated that criminal copyright infringement requires distribution for financial gain,
Then your understanding if the opposite of what it is. Or at least what the warning states on any disks that I have. It specifically states that it's a violation even if not for financial gain.
I hope this is a successful endeavor, but I have concerns that the test will hopefully figure out.
TFS did stateverything that the surface could be dressed in gravel. So hopefully that will take care of traction issues from the plastic itself, but also when the traction layer itself wears smooth. Hopefully this will also minimize plastic wearing off and beingreleased into the environment.
Repairable is also a concern. It's not like an asphalt road that can be easily patched. Or maybe it can. I didn't RTFA.
The drainage channels are also something I'm curious about. How will they be kept free of clogs? And how easy will it be to unclog them? Then there's the question of how the drainage channels will deal with snow melting and entering the drains and re-freezing at night or when the temperature drops. Will the surface Crack like current roads do? Or will it cause the surface to bubble? Either way, it will cause problems. Bubbling will make the surface uneven and weaken the material from expanding and contracting repeatedly. Whiche makes me wonder how it will do with expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.
I'm sure this is all stuff they will be testing for and thought of already. I hope they have resolved all of these and other issues. Because it would be pretty cool to find something this massive to help with the plastic waste we have.
Then stop using plastics, fucktard. The only way to handle the plastic problem in a meaningful way is to never make them in the first place.

Except they have to explain in the warranty that this will happen before they can do it. And such things are expressly forbidden bring Magnuso-Moss.
